"The night before Gregg Williams’ final game as
the New Orleans Saints’ defensive coordinator, the
since-suspended coach gave a fiery speech to the
team’s defensive players during which he made
specific references to inflicting physical
punishment upon several San Francisco 49ers in a
postseason game the next day.
In the speech at the team’s hotel near the San
Francisco Airport, Williams – according to
documentary filmmaker Sean Pamphilon – at one
point made a hand signal suggesting he would
personally pay for a ferocious shot on 49ers
quarterback Alex Smith.
Williams also referenced the prospect of his
players inflicting a severe knee injury upon San
Francisco wideout Michael Crabtree and exhorted
them to “put a lick on” backup receiver Kyle
Williams in an effort to “find out” if he was
still suffering from the effects of a late-
December concussion." - Yahoo Sports
